A new sign is pictured by the beach entrance in Ocean Breeze after area resident Emilya Malkin received a ticket from NYC Parks police when she mistakenly thought beach access from her Naughton Avenue home was open to residents. Parks officers sternly issued the ticket, without a warning, and threatened Malkin and her family with a night in the police precinct when it was revealed their ID was left a block away at home.
